Don't cry Carole you are making my biscuits do all soggy. But yes just like out of a botanical book again.

Gorgeous Carole. Hope I can produce a flower a fraction as good as this one as I have just enrolled in the Billy Showell Online School, and I am starting from absolutely scratch!!

Happy faces is a great title as there are a lot of happy faces looking at this...just stunning!

Oh I love this Carole, the pansies look so natural and fresh, wonderful.

That's just what my lovely Mum used to say:"Little smiling faces." You have painted them so beautifully.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. Adele good luck on your course, I'm sure you will enjoy it. I met Billy Showell at a Patchings Art Festival a few years ago, her work is fantastic.

That is a really good botanical Carole, the formation and structure of the flowers is great and the blending of the colours just brings it to life, nice one.

Thank you Carole.

A great title for a great painting Carole, no wonder you miss it.

Thanks Val x

I can see why you liked it so much - but you can do it again - it's happened to me many times - I sometimes even forget to photo them before framing and passing them on - that's even worse.

Posted by Michael Edwards on Fri 12 Aug 05:24:06

I can understand you regretting not having it any longer - it's really beautuful, such detail and lovely colours.

Watercolour I did earlier of all the pansies in my garden. The painting is no longer with me, wish I had had it printed as it was my favourite.
